Looking for a cool university project with impact? We have some of them around Wikidata - not just for computer science students. Get in touch with Lydia.

Had a lot to think about and recap from the Zürich Hackathon, e.g. things regarding search, suggestions as well as the user interface redesign

Started doing mockups of the new user interface (Nothing to show yet, sorry!)

Setup an autogenerating code documentation instance on labs at wbdoc.wmflabs.org. Hint: Submitting patches that make the inline code documentation even better is a good starting point to get involved in coding

Worked on new datatype monolingual text (basically a string with an associated language)

Reworked a hell lot of “change operations” code that’s responsible for each and every edit as well as validating user input and API requests, for example denying empty descriptions and finding and blocking unnecessary duplications

Checked all the new Beta features that the teams in San Francisco are developing and made sure they work with Wikidata

Our efforts to make Wikidata faster broke some gadgets so we helped fixing them. Sorry for the breakage!

Dug into odd display bugs with the MonoBook skin and attempted to fix them (bugzilla:64741)

More testing on simple queries

Tpt worked on making inter-project links in the sidebar a beta-feature
